Johns Hopkins graduate student Xiang Yang, at right, teamed up with Rajat Mittal, a professor of mechanical engineering, to revamp a "useless" 169-year-old math strategy, making it work up to 200 times faster. Credit: Will Kirk/JHU

VIDEO AT LINK: Simulation data showing significantly faster reduction in solution error for the new Scheduled Relaxation Jacobi (SRJ) method as compared to the classical Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel iterative methods.The equation that is being solved here is the two-dimensional Laplace equation on a 128×128 grid.

So I’m thinking: what is the risk to crypto currency? Bitcoin useless as a crack coder mines all the remaining coins in a day?

Is it as fast as the Trachtenberg System of Speed Math advertized in the back of magazines back in the 1960s?

Then the grad student and Mittal began working together on a paper about the work that could be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, with Yang as lead author.

Many profs would have written this paper with their own name as lead author. Good for Mittal for letting the young man take the credit.
